Since the fateful day Ted Cruz announced his now-suspended presidential campaign, his daughters Caroline Cruz, age 7, along with her sister Catherine, 5, have been trotted out regularly, always in matching outfits, in a largely ineffective bid to help their father pretend that he is not the golem of Prague.

This weekend I endured three days of the Values Voter Summit, where I leaped outside my comfort zone for the sake of American Journalism. I did a number of things I had never done before: I ate a lemon bar; I initiated conversations with strangers; I stared Ted Cruz in the face and didn’t immediately contract a…

You already know this, but your sense of smell is linked to your memory. For me, the smell of Folgers coffee will always remind me of my grandmother’s kitchen. I’ve been obsessed with perfume, and cosmetics in general, since I was a kid, even though I’m a horrific, slovenly dresser with many a bad hair day.

Bad news: When it comes to pretty much everything you've ever done or said in your relationship, the memories you and your spouse hold so dear should probably be regarded as highly suspect. Really. This applies to both of you.

I don't really love wearing makeup but I have always loved looking at it, smelling it, and owning it. Days pass where I put nothing more than lip balm and mascara on my face, but, still, I shop for lipstick obsessively. In person, online.

Well, no, it can't vote — unless movies can vote now? Can they? Maybe Harvey Weinstein pulled some strings? — but that doesn't mean we can't welcome this golden girl of a movie to the elderly care facility. Old people movies can be so sweet.

Matrix-y memory researcher Malcolm MacLeod was curious whether people might be able to improve their ability to forget embarrassing or traumatizing personal memories, so he ran some experiments on "intentional forgetting" with co-researcher Saima Noreen. Both were doubtful — "Autobiographical memory is so vivid, so…

Singer Donna Summer died today at the age of 63; she'd been battling breast cancer, though sources say she was trying to keep her condition private. Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the US Billboard chart. Arguably the voice of disco, Summer's hits include "Last…

Who among us hasn't experienced the trepidation of your first time? You agonize about where you should go and what you'll say once you get there. Then, when you finally go through with it, you're so nervous that you're shaking and you do something goofy like get confused about which part goes in which hole. No, we're…

When we asked for your awful prom stories, we expected to hear about drunken nights, stolen purses and dress mishaps. We did not expect tales of dead animals, kicking your date in the balls, getting handcuffed by state troopers or having pizza thrown at your face. There were so many cringe-inducing ways the supposed…

Vanity Fair has a slideshow, courtesy of Elizabeth Taylor's close friend Maury Hopson, of the time the pair spent at a Florida "fat farm" in the late 1970s (when she was married to Senator John Warner), that was part spa, part rehab, and part weight-loss camp that they jokingly nicknamed "Butterfield Ate." Get ready…

As American Apparel is on the verge of collapse, this picture — from 1987 — is full of foreshadowing. Dov Charney and the words DEAD END. Yes. DEAD END! The CEO of American Apparel wasn't always a creepy employer doing allegedly creepy things in the workplace. He was once a creepy student at a tony boarding school…
